Finally, a ginger beer so gingery that my toddler won’t even drink it, leaving it all for me. Worth a stop when you’re in Seattle. They’ll make an alcoholic beverage with it, if that’s your thing, and they’ve got a variety of flavors to complicate things, but this original was tasty on its own and worth a stop when in Seattle.

Another perfectly fine root beer. Nothing to write home about, honestly. And maybe I’m underwhelmed only because I tried this one after their delicious cream soda. Cute can!

A standard root beer out of Victoria, B.C. Maybe local pinball and pizza emporium Pinhalla has their kegs/fountains/whatever a little off, but it seemed a tad watery. Maybe that’s a good thing for people who like a little less bite in their root beer.

From New Creation Soda Works, this nutty cream soda is a real treat. Cane sugar, vanilla, and pecan flavor are balanced nicely. And there’s a cute squirrel on the can!

Ever wish your flavored soda water just had a little more flavor? Like it should be infused with a blast of fruity instead of a mere suggestion of flavor. Behold: Your monkey’s paw.

They’re not kidding about the pepper or the “elixir.” Tastes like something your great grandmother would make for your sore throat. It’s delicious.

My preferred source of caffeine, Panera’s Fuji Apple Cranberry Charged Lemonade is a great calorie-laden, decadent jolt for the coffee-adverse. As a Sip Club ™️ member, these are free. Subscription well-spent for me.

Is this soda? Is sweetness a requirement? If so, delete this from the database. But Bubly hits my soda cravings without pumping me full of sugar (or, probably worse, sugar substitutes). Just good ol bubbles and “lime.”

All hail Buc-ee’s
